Netflix, Martha Stewart, T.O.P And Lil Yachty Welcome You To The K-Era
Lil Yachty, Martha Stewart and T.O.P appear in Netflix's new K-content campaign. Let's face it—a collaboration between lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart and South Korean rapper and actor T.O.P was something no one saw coming, but that's precisely what happened when Netflix revealed its latest ad for Korean content. The two-minute video on Netflix's YouTube channel also features American rapper Lil Yachty, himself a longtime K-culture fan who famously paid tribute to the iconic K-pop boy band BIGBANG (of which T.O.P is a former member) in 2016 by freestyling to their songs. (And seeing as how T.O.P is clearly his favorite BIGBANG member based on that clip, it was probably only a matter of time before he and the real T.O.P found themselves in the same video.) In Netflix's promotional clip, Stewart is caught crying while watching the hit K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. When told that she doesn't speak Korean, Stewart responds, 'I don't, it speaks to me.' Stewart is later seen actively engaging with and taking cues from other blockbuster Korean shows like Squid Game, All of Us Are Dead and Physical: 100. She also chats with Lil Yachty about Single's Inferno while wearing a snail mucin sheet mask on her face—one of (many) items popularized by the ever-growing K-beauty trend. T.O.P (real name Choi Seung-hyun), who plays Thanos in Squid Game season 2, appears in Stewart's dressing room in the latter half of the video and flashes her the classic Korean 'finger heart' sign. At this point, the camera cuts to a barrage of additional K-culture references found throughout the room, from the song 'Like Jennie' by BLACKPINK member Jennie blasting from a speaker to a tray filled with Korean snacks and beverages to Stewart wearing an Extraordinary Attorney Woo T-shirt. 'I've seen this before… You're in deep on K-content. Don't worry, she'll be fine,' T.O.P remarks, at least according to the English subtitles. (A more literal translation of what he actually says would be something like: 'Oh, I see you're hooked on not only K-content but Korean culture as well. Don't worry, that happens to everyone.') He then makes his exit with the now-iconic 'Skrrt!'—which all three stars repeat at the very end while dressed in Squid Game tracksuits. Social media reactions to the unexpected collab have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with many users praising Netflix for the surprise video and gushing over T.O.P's appearance in the clip. Some of the user comments on the "Welcome to Your K-Era" video on Netflix's YouTube channel More user comments on Netflix's new K-content promotional video Commenter on YouTube references the 2016 BIGBANG tribute video in which Lil Yachty raps and talks to ... More cardboard cutouts of BIGBANG members. Screenshot of a post on X Netflix's slogan for its 'Welcome to Your K-Era' campaign is 'You Don't Have to Speak It to Love It' (for anyone who's interested, a more literal translation of the Korean phrase would be: 'Even if you don't know the language, you know the feeling!'), acknowledging the power of K-content to resonate with audiences across the globe despite the language barrier. That said, as an aside, it should be noted that the Korean language is also experiencing a worldwide boom these days. For instance, a recent study by the Modern Language Association found that out of the 15 most commonly taught foreign languages at U.S. colleges and universities, Korean was the only language to show remarkable growth between 2016 and 2021—a whopping 38.3% increase in enrollment over that five-year period. Biblical Hebrew and American Sign Language were the only other languages that showed increased enrollment—9.1% and 0.8% respectively—while all other foreign languages showed a marked decline in enrollment over that time period. To feed your K-content obsession—and perhaps help you improve your Korean listening comprehension skills—Netflix now has a 'Welcome to Your K-Era' panel on its interface, which serves as a one-stop shop to find all your favorite Korean films and shows on Netflix. (Tip for those new to Korean movies and shows: ALWAYS watch them subbed, NEVER dubbed!) Residents of Los Angeles, California might have also seen these Netflix billboards along Sunset Boulevard featuring Korean-only captions, often superimposed on ads for popular Netflix Korean shows: Billboard in LA with Netflix's new K-content slogan "You Don't Have to Speak It to Love It" written ... More in Korean (a more literal translation would be: "Even if you don't know the language, you know the feeling!") Netflix billboard in LA for 'Squid Game' that reads, "It's now time to end the game" in Korean Netflix billboard in LA for 'Single's Inferno' that reads, "Jun-seo over Tae-oh, you've crossed the ... More line" in Korean Netflix billboard in LA for 'The Glory' that reads, "You've messed with the wrong person" in Korean There's also a video billboard in New York City's Times Square that shows all of these ads along with a few more featuring other Korean shows. Below is a still frame for the K-zombie thriller All of Us Are Dead: Netflix digital billboard in Times Square for 'All of Us Are Dead.' The Korean words read, "Now our ... More school is in the middle of a survival class." Netflix's K-content promotional campaign comes on the heels of its global fan event Tudum, which featured many K-culture moments both during and in the lead-up to the live event held in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31st. That weekend, Tudum coincided with other events in Los Angeles that celebrated K-culture, including an epic sold-out concert by K-pop boy band Stray Kids (whose global fanbase is predominantly non-Korean), a concert by Korean singing legend Baek Ji-young, and 88rising's annual Head in the Clouds music festival, which saw many K-indie and K-pop artists take the stage at the Rose Bowl, including BIGBANG's leader G-Dragon (dubbed by many fans as the 'King of K-pop') and iconic K-pop girl group 2NE1. As I've mentioned before, it's a K-content world, and we're all just living in it. And Netflix is one of the players leading the Korean Wave, known as 'Hallyu" (한류) in Korean.

Canadian Open: Rory McIlroy Stands Firm on Skipping Media with Harsh Retort
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy spoke to the press ahead of the start of the RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto. It was his first public statement since he failed to meet with reporters at the PGA Championship and missed the Memorial Tournament. Naturally, this was one of the central topics of the questions he received that day. McIlroy defended his right to refuse interviews and mentioned other circumstances that were present at the time. "If we all wanted to, we could all bypass you guys and we could just go on this and we could go on social media and we could talk about our round and do it our own way," he said. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland watches his tee shot on the 3rd hole during the RBC Canadian Open Pro-Am at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 04, 2025 in Caledon, Ontario, Canada. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland watches his tee shot on the 3rd hole during the RBC Canadian Open Pro-Am at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 04, 2025 in Caledon, Ontario, Canada."We understand that that's not ideal for you guys and there's a bigger dynamic at play here, and I talk to you guys and I talk to the media a lot. I think there should be an understanding that this is a two-way understand the benefit that comes from you being here and giving us the platform and everything else." "But again, I've been beating this drum for a long time. If they want to make it mandatory, that's fine, but in our rules it says that it's not, and until the day that that's maybe written into the regulations, you're going to have guys skip from time to time, and that's well within our rights." The 2025 PGA Championship will always be remembered as the moment when McIlroy's driver was declared non-conforming, sparking a flurry of rumors. He said he was "pissed off" with the press for leaking the information, when asked about this circumstance. "I was a little pissed off." Rory McIlroy addressed his driver failing to pass testing during the PGA Championship and why he did not speak to the media about it. — Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) June 4, 2025 The five-time major winner is certainly known for being a regular at press conferences before, during, and after tournaments. He also offers statements on a variety of golf-related topics outside of competitive events. However, a few weeks ago, he shared similar opinions about players' right not to give interviews. This occurred in the context of Collin Morikawa's controversial comments about how he "doesn't owe anyone anything" and therefore doesn't have to meet with reporters. The matter generated many reactions, some supportive like McIlroy's and some in denial. Some fans argued that the PGA Tour should require players to speak with the press during tournaments, as is the case in other sports. Even the legendary Jack Nicklaus was questioned about the issue during the Memorial Tournament. While Nicklaus did not condemn the behavior of the players who refused to speak to reporters, he used himself as an example, noting that he always met with the press, regardless of how he played.

PGA Tour Champ Predicts +5 US Open Winner amid Insane Conditions
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ben Griffin is one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour right now, having won two tournaments and finishing in the top 10 in two others over the past six weeks. He certainly deserves to be on cloud nine these days. However, Griffin is absolutely grounded, as he's just one week away from making his US Open debut. In fact, he already had a practice round at the venue and was so impressed that he predicted a very bold winning score. "It's extremely hard right now," he said during an interview with the popular Smylie Show podcast. "This is actually going to be my first US Open, but I have played US Open practice rounds because I've been a first alternate a couple of times. So I've been on site at a few and this one's by far the hardest that I have played." "I don't know what the definition of too hard is, but if five over par being a winning score is too hard, then that's probably Oakmont right now." The native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, claimed to have made three birdies and nine pars during his practice round, while making bogey or double bogey on the remaining holes. He described how easy it is to hit the rough, adding that even shots that appear to be going into the fairway often end up in the thickest part of the turf. Griffin is so concerned about the challenges Oakmont will present to players, that he changed his travel plans for the weekend. "I was planning on playing it Monday and then showing up on Sunday night and doing Monday through Wednesday. I'm flying in Saturday afternoon to get out there again Sunday, just because the green complexes are crazy." There's no doubt that Oakmont will present a challenging golf course during the US Open. For several days, videos have circulated on social media showing the venue's setup, particularly the rough, leaving no doubt about its difficulty. A ball lays in thick rough prior to the start of the Barclays Singapore Open at at the Sentosa Golf Club on November 6, 2012 in Singapore. A ball lays in thick rough prior to the start of the Barclays Singapore Open at at the Sentosa Golf Club on November 6, 2012 in such as Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, and reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau have played practice rounds there, and their results confirmed their expectations. Scott and McIlroy told Eamon Lynch of Golfweek that they both had difficulty scoring well during their practice rounds. DeChambeau, for his part, posted a video on his YouTube channel, which has over 2 million subscribers, showing his practice round. The video clearly illustrates the challenging conditions they will face next week. More Golf: Bryson DeChambeau Seen Playing Golf at 'TPC White House'
